Product description

Paul Simon's self-titled album, released on 14 January 1972, is a masterclass in singer-songwriter craftsmanship. This 42-minute journey through 11 tracks, plus bonus demos, showcases Simon's unique ability to weave together eclectic influences and storytelling. From the opening notes of 'Mother and Child Reunion' to the closing strains of 'Congratulations', Simon's distinctive voice and genre-bending style take centre stage.

The album's tracklist is a testament to Simon's innovative spirit, with songs like 'Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard' and 'Papa Hobo' demonstrating his skill at crafting infectious, laid-back melodies. The inclusion of demos, such as 'Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard - Demo - San Francisco 2/71' and 'Duncan - Demo - San Francisco 2/71', offers a fascinating glimpse into Simon's creative process.

With its blend of folk, rock, and world music elements, 'Paul Simon' is a quintessential representation of the singer-songwriter genre. Released via Legacy Recordings, this album has stood the test of time, and its influence can still be felt today. Paul Simon's singular talent and vision have resulted in an album that is both a timeless classic and a deeply personal statement.

This 2025 Reissue LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

  • Simon's Solo Brilliance

    5 out of 5 stars
    JwGuxoaDecember 23, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    I'm a huge fan of Simon & Garfunkel's tunes, but I don't find myself missing Garfunkel on Paul Simon's first solo record. "Run That Body Down" is a true standout, possibly one of the most overlooked (or, let's be honest, one of my faves) tracks in Simon's collection. "Armistice Day" showcases some stellar guitar playing, and "Peace Like a River" gives off those classic country blues vibes. "Duncan" was later reworked and appeared in better form on LIVE RHYMIN'. This is a 1972 Pitman pressing, and it delivers a lively, warm, and rich sound. My copy plays smoothly, except for a touch of faint surface noise at the start of each side.

    Paul Simon truly at his best here. I believe 'Duncan' could be one of his greatest songs ever.

  • Simon's Joyful Masterpiece

    rzpiigjac50October 22, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    This Pitman pressing is absolutely amazing, though I did manage to find one in mint condition. In my view, it's one of Simon's best recorded albums. There's not a single bad track on here. It's just pure, unadulterated joy start to finish.
